Reckon if Weatherill stays on he'll make a hell of an opposition leader, but I won't be surprised if he resigns.

A lot of people loving hated Christine Milne. I don't know why Adam Bandt didn't get the leadership, because he seems like he'd suck less.

If anybody voted for the Libs since "it's time for a change" you're obviously in a privileged position where you won't be effected by cuts to services, infrastructure and public health. It's time for a change in your breathing capacity by walking into the sea.

BBJoey posted:i know di natale is literally satan or whatever but what is it that he’s actually done to turn the greens into Literally Worse Than Labor (The Refugee Torture Guys) the greens are hosed on two counts: they have an explicit environmental bias that nobody cares about, and they're the biggest of the Third Party in australian politics (barring the nats) so they have to try to appeal to an insanely wide base. di natale recognises this and as such is slightly uncomfortable to look at

We got to accept that The Greens as a third party will fluctuate wildly from left to centre and are far more likely to disappoint supporters than any other party. Splits suck.

On policy and even implementing them they're still the least bad option with a decent chance of even getting a senate seat. It's just that they could be so, so much better than they actually are right now. Aesculus fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Mar 17, 2018 |

Marshalls only talking point was to say sixteen years over and loving over again and I have good information that oldies were like "yeah maybe a change wouldn't be bad" and that's what did SA. It is non policy based defeat. E: good info being one on ones with people in dying unionised shops so yeah...

Aesculus posted:Well, if you count a year or so of active involvement in the greens and being part of their strategic plan development group once, maybe? I should add that NSW has actually done the correct thing for once and we're sending over to the federal greens our proposal to absolutely rule out governing with the LNP so this may be somewhat outdated. Aus greens might just block it anyway as it needs 75% support to even be voted on

Greens did well considering Feeney was gone and Ged is a good candidate.

SA Best turned out to be a wet fart, at least? Might console myself that at least it'll likely be a one-term government. Even if they gently caress everything up in the process. It's like clockwork for years, it seems so obvious: Labor builds, Liberals break.

Didn't see the results yet but I just want to congratulate and thank the Greens for ripping their moral imperatives from their own body like so much useless spine in compromises no one could possibly be seduced by and whatever clowny baby palace intrigue they did to safely secure the votes for the seat of Batman, as these tactics assured
